Near-Earth object / ID: 2163348
163348 is a near-Earth object of the ATE orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits similar to that of 2062 Aten. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 260m - 581m across. It has been followed since 2002-07-02 across 790 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2029-Jun-07 01:07, passing at 22.897 LD. JPL classifies it as a potentially hazardous asteroid, a label driven by its size and how close its orbit comes to ours — not by a predicted impact.
